Bar BQ Plaza

After waiting for like aeons to update my blog, I finally took the time to sit down to blog properly. and It's also my b'day today.

Why I didn't blog for so long, because I'm too lazy busy. :P

About a fortnight ago, after watching Rendition in GSC 1u(more on that in another post), we went to Bar-B-Q plaza for lunch. The steamcooker for the Bar-b-q.
Chopsticks and bowl used for eating.
Instructions on how to cook!!!!! (Well, you haven't seen these in any
steamboat restaurant before right?, not for me at least. The way to cook is actually place the lard on top of the cooker. Then , it will be followed by pouring in the soup after the lard is cooked. Then you can proceed to put in the barbeque ingredients , eg. pork, seafood, beef that you ordered.

The ingredients to mix with the barbeque sauce. On the top left is garlic, followed by lemon, chillies. The bowl, of course is the barbeque sauce.

The Supreme pork set that we ordered for RM29.90. Ok lah. Looks quite a lot for around RM30.
Green tea tau fu RM4.Nothing special about it.
Hot honey lemon.RM4. The honey is sweet but just nice with the lemon. Definitely a must order in Bar-Bq plaza.
Red bean squash. RM4.My friend ordered this. Taste quite good too. Also another must try in Bar-Bq plaza.
The barbeque cooker with just the veggies. I'm not sure if we're supposed to cook the cabbage slices (very thin) because they are placed at below all the veggies and meat. or they are just part of the garnishing? Nevertheless we just shove everything to the cooker. The barbeque cooker with just the pork.

The black pepper udon noodles. Not spicy enough to my taste but still okay.

Altogether this meal costs us RM58.50. Just a little shy of RM60, although I'm not DAMN full but I think is satisfying meal.


Note: 1) Always take up the meat as soon as it's cooked, meat won't tastes very nice/tender
when it's overcooked.
2) Always soak the meat in barbeque sauce. ALWAYS. it tastes better.

A casual date

Finally , I get to go on a date with a person that I wanted to date for a long time. (yah I know it's long winded). But, it's a blog right? So, I get to blog what I want as long it doesn't hurt people's feelings.

Anyways, it has been like 2 years ago that we had a decent conversation. Although we did meet recently, unfortunately it wasn't very suitable to chat. I had always been wanting to date her for some time, imagine the excitement when she said she has no transport. I thought "Wee...." , more time to talk (when she's in my car).

Before I sound like an overexcited kid, the date started like this. I picked up my car from office, drove from office to Petaling Jaya. Then, I drove to her office. Although it's the first time I've been there, it wasn't really hard to find either. In order NOT to get lost and asking her give the directions to get there. I took the time to find out the place with Google Maps . It was indeed helpful. I was supposed to pick her up at 7pm. But, I only late around 10 minutes. (ehh... u know PJ is famous of traffic jam wat...).

Of course , there was another problem. I don't remember how she look like. Fortunately, luck is on my side. It wasn't hard to spot her. So, off we go for 1Utama for dinner.

Initially, I was thinking of Sushi King 1Utama then I thought I don't know where is it. I'm not gonna stress myself looking for it. So, we decided to go for Italiannies 1utama. I've been there a couple of times and their service is good. Food's good too.

"A picture is a worth a thousand words" . Here's some picture of what we had on thursday night.
Complimentary bread from Italiannies. According to a fellow friend, it's called baguette.

Lime-ade which I ordered, my "date" ordered warm water.


The first dish that we had , Fried Calamari (sotong) for 2 and small bowl of sauce.
The generous amount of sauce they gave us when we asked for more sauce.
Finally, the Chicken Fettucine that we ordered.


Here comes the awkward part of the dinner. As funny as it sounds, we couldn't finish the food although we only ordered 2 dishes. The Fried Calamari was for two. The Chicken Fettucine doesn't seem like a lot during first impression. In the end, we decided to take away the leftovers. She took the leftovers home because I don't think it'll taste very good when I get back home. Since she had an appointment after the dinner , I sent her home.

That's a good start on dating. I hope I can do more dating in the future. ya man.. date more chicks gal.
